Technology can drive physician success

Gone (well, almost) are the days of paper charting and missing patient files and unorganized patient management. Technology has changed the patient management landscape - for good.

Physicians are benefitting greatly from technology - they use cloud technology, electronic health records, and automation. These physicians are becoming leaders in accountable care organizations (ACOs) and in ICD-10 adoption, meaningful use implementation, and provider patient connectivity.

In the recent issue of Healthcare IT News, the way technology is driving physicians success is discussed:

“As more clinics across the country adopt EHRs, they are finding that the technology dovetails nicely with other systems, enabling data management for population health, establishment of patient portals, medication tracking and electronic prescribing among other things.”

(Zack Wilson of CSI Healthcare IT quoted in Healthcare IT News)

Doctors are paying attention to the technological changes and the way these changes are benefiting physicians across the country.

Jen Polello, a principal consultant with Arcadia Healthcare solutions says that these doctors are starting to pay attention to EHR and are adapting to EHR out of necessity:

“(Technology adoption) is mainly borne by necessity rather than pure desire...they realize it makes sense from a clinical and business standpoint.”
